  • Page 28: Structure And Syntax Of The Device Messages

    Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages SCPI Introduction SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) describes a standard command set for programming instruments, irrespective of the type of instrument or manufacturer. The goal of the SCPI consortium is to standardize the device-specific commands to a large extent.
  • Page 29 Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages Device-specific commands Hierarchy: Device-specific commands hierarchical structure (see Fig. 5-1). The different levels are represented by combined headers. Headers of the highest level (root level) have only one key word. This key word denotes a complete command system. Example: This key word denotes the command system SENSe...
  • Page 30 Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages Optional key words: Some command systems permit certain key words to be optionally inserted into the header or omitted. These key words are marked by square brackets in the description. The full command length must be recognized by the instrument for reasons of compatibility with the SCPI standard.
  • Page 31: Structure Of A Command Line

    Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages Structure of a Command Line A command line may consist of one or several commands. It is terminated by a <New Line>, a <New Line> with EOI or an EOI together with the last data byte. Quick BASIC automatically produces an EOI together with the last data byte.
  • Page 32: Parameters

    Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages Parameters Most commands require a parameter to be specified. The parameters must be separated from the header by a "white space". Permissible parameters are numerical values, Boolean parameters, text, character strings and block data. The type of parameter required for the respective command and the permissible range of values are specified in the command description (see Section 3.6).
  • Page 33: Overview Of Syntax Elements

    Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages Text Text parameters observe the syntactic rules for key words, i.e. they can be entered using a short or long form. Like any parameter, they have to be separated from the header by a white space. In the case of a query, the short form of the text is provided.
  • Page 34: Instrument Model And Command Processing

    Instrument Model and Command Processing Instrument Model and Command Processing The instrument model shown in Fig. 5-2 has been made viewed from the standpoint of the servicing of IEC-bus commands. The individual components work independently of each other and simultaneously. They communicate by means of so-called "messages".
  • Page 35: Command Recognition

    Instrument Model and Command Processing Command Recognition The command recognition analyses the data received from the input unit. It proceeds in the order in which it receives the data. Only a DCL is serviced with priority, a GET (Group Execute Trigger), e.g., is only executed after the commands received before as well.
  • Page 36: Output Unit

    Instrument Model and Command Processing Output Unit The output unit collects the information requested by the controller, which it receives from the data set management. It processes it according to the SCPI rules and makes it available in the output buffer. The output buffer has a size of 4096 characters.
  • Page 37: Status Reporting System

    Status Reporting System Status Reporting System The status reporting system (cf. Fig. 5-3) stores all information on the present operating state of the instrument, e.g. that the instrument presently carries out an AUTORANGE and on errors which have occurred. This information is stored in the status registers and in the error queue. The status registers and the error queue can be queried via IEC bus.
  • Page 38 Status Reporting System CONDition part The CONDition part is directly written into by the hardware or the sum bit of the next lower register.

  • Page 40: Description Of The Status Registers

    Status Reporting System Description of the Status Registers Status Byte (STB) and Service Request Enable Register (SRE) The STB is already defined in IEEE 488.2. It provides a rough overview of the instrument status by collecting the pieces of information of the lower registers. It can thus be compared with the CONDition part of an SCPI register and assumes the highest level within the SCPI hierarchy.
  • Page 41: Ist Flag And Parallel Poll Enable Register (Ppe)

    Status Reporting System IST Flag and Parallel Poll Enable Register (PPE) By analogy with the SRQ, the IST flag combines the entire status information in a single bit.

    Contents - Maintenance and Instrument Interfaces RS-232-C Interface The standard FSE is equipped with two serial interfaces (RS-232-C). The RS-232-C interfaces are two independent, remote-control channels, both of which may be active at the same time. The programming and interrogation commands affect the same instrument hardware. The interfaces can be set up manually in the SETUP-GENERAL SETUP menu in the COM PORT1/2 table.

    Instrument Interfaces DSR (Data Set Ready), Input, active LOW, Indicates that the remote station is ready to receive data. RTS (Request To Send), Output, active LOW. Indicates that the local terminal wants to transmit data. CTS (Clear To Send), Input, active LOW. Used to tell the local terminal that the remote station is ready to receive data.
  • Page 401: Handshake

    Contents - Maintenance and Instrument Interfaces Handshake Software handshake In the software handshake mode of operation, the data transfer is controlled using the two control characters XON / XOFF. The instrument uses the control character XON to indicate that it is ready to receive data. If the receive buffer is full, it sends the XOFF character via the interface to the controller.
  • Page 402 Instrument Interfaces Hardware handshake For hardware handshake, the instrument indicates that it is ready to receive data via the lines DTR and RTS. A logic ’0’ on both lines means ’ready’ and a logic ’1’ means ’not ready’. The RTS line is always active (logic ’0’) as long as the serial interface is switched on.
